I have a very slow leak near the power steering rack. I'm not losing much power steering fluid at all, just enough to where I have to top it off a couple times a year. The fluid that's in the reservoir right now is pink. The fluid that I bought at the dealer today ("Volvo Power Steering Oil") is green. The dealer told me that it's OK to mix the green fluid with the pink fluid that's in the car. I guess it's possible that the pink stuff in my car is ATF, but the parts guy gave me the impression that the older power steering fluid may have been pink, as well.

In any case, I just want to make sure that it's OK to mix the green with the pink. Any thoughts?
